I have a question regarding sound waves. Can someone clear up the following if anything is wrong:
Sound waves have parts of high pressure and low pressure. The medium in which the sound is being transmitted vibrate backward and forward, being their maximum displacemente from rest "smax".
I get very confused with the terms because I believe there are two parts which need to be analyzed in waves: the movement of the medium and the movement of the wave. So, particles in the air go back and forths, while the wave goes only forth?
Damn sorry I think ur like "wow this guy is confusing himself even more." But I am really confused about sound waves. Can anybody give me some quick notes about the movement of sound in air. THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE.
